Description

DESCRIPTION

Device for recording cleaning work carried out

The present invention relates to a device for simplifying surface cleaning and a method for recording cleaning work carried out.

When carrying out cleaning work, it is a disadvantage that cleaning personnel often cannot detect whether one or more areas have already been cleaned. Yes. for example, the cleaning staff has vacuumed a floor, this due to the absence of marks, distinctive elements or auxiliary lines can usually guess only where it has been vacuumled so far and what surfaces remain to be cleaned.

Therefore, due to the aforementioned lack of markings, in different cleaning processes cleaning often occurs with too many operations or that certain surfaces are not cleaned, which or due to the high cost of material and time leads to costs. Unnecessary and, at the same time, at the same time, ignoring surfaces to be cleaned leads to poor cleaning quality or non-compliance with due tasks.

Also, cleaning quadrants are often very large, complex, confusing, and not structured and / or represented clearly enough that cleaning staff spend a lot of time with their study. A lack of knowledge or insufficient knowledge about the initiation of work tasks, false estimates and a lack of specialized knowledge and in languages therefore often lead to greater expense and can lead to a higher error rate. In the case of performance forecasts and / or assignments and / or alternate cleaning personnel these disadvantages increase.

Cleaning procedures for cleaning surfaces and the production of cleaning quadrants are preferably disclosed in the state of the art, preferably with respect to cleaning robots. In this regard, in the case of cleaning robots, the most complete treatment of the floor surface must be achieved as soon as possible. For example EP 2287697 A2 discloses occasional navigation procedures that do not need to create or use a map of the environment on which the surface to be treated is located. That is, no location information is used regarding obstacles, land surface boundaries, cleaned / uncleaned areas, etc.

As an alternative, cleaning robots create an environment map for directed route planning and directed cleaning of the ground surface using a logarithm called location and mapping. In this regard, a map and the position of the robot on the map are determined by sensors.

In systems of this type, the user is generally not informed of any map-based information (for example, about what was cleaned and how it was cleaned) and the user has no influence on the internal use of the map. As an alternative to this, permanently stored maps are also known. In EP 1 967116 A1, for example, the degree of soiling of a floor surface is determined and stored on the map in order to adapt the treatment intensity accordingly in subsequent treatment cycles. In US 6,667,592 B2 a permanently stored map is used to associate different functions (eg vacuuming, cleaning) with individual partial areas of a map which can then be terminated by a cleaning apparatus autonomously. Document US 2011/0264305 describes a procedure in which a cleaning robot transfers a map of the area to be cleaned to an external apparatus and thus allows interaction with the user.

DE102013101496 discloses an automatic device for cleaning surfaces using high-pressure spraying apparatus. In order to avoid that the personnel of service are affected by the swirling particles in the air, a "virtual" cleaning is carried out with a model and then based on this a real cleaning. The cleaning procedures known from the state of the art therefore refer to autonomous cleaning apparatus that carry out work processes automatically. In this regard, while optimization of cleaning time is desired, however, over longer cleaning times exclusively low costs occur, so that overlapping cleanings are generally preferred in order to achieve an optimal cleaning procedure. However, it is disadvantageous in the known processes that they generally do not offer any assistance to cleaning personnel in cleaning surfaces, but instead exclusively disclose procedures for autonomous robots. It is also a disadvantage that it cannot be detected whether a cleaning has actually taken place. Although in the case of cleaning robots it is fundamentally known that their traveled paths are recorded, however, it is currently not possible to detect and determine such a cleaning path in other cleaning devices, in particular manually operated vacuum cleaners, cleaning cloths. and the like, in which surfaces were actually cleaned, and in which said cleaning devices exclusively have moved across the corresponding surfaces without actually cleaning.

The aim of the present invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art, and in particular to provide a device that offers a reduction in the cleaning time necessary in maintaining an optimal cleaning result.

This objective is solved by a device, attached or that can be attached, in particular detachably with a cleaning device, wherein the device comprises at least one detection means to detect the position of at least one cleaning area used or that at least one display equipment, and at least one data processing equipment that is connected or can be actively connected to the display equipment and the at least one detection means, where the Data processing equipment is designed and configured to display at least one representation of at least one surface to be cleaned in at least a first color or colorless and depending on a detected variation in position of at least the cleaning zone of the cleaning device the surface to be cleaned in at least one second color or without color overlap, wherein the at least one medium The detection sensor detects or can detect a contact pressure of the at least one area used or that can be used for cleaning the cleaning device on the surface to be cleaned, in particular, at least one threshold value for the contact pressure. is fixed or can be fixed, and where only in the case of reaching or exceeding the threshold value in a detected variation of the position at least of the area used or that can be used for cleaning the surface to be cleaned is shown or can display in at least a first color and / or another color and / or

the at least one detection means detects or can detect the distance of the outlet of a jet nozzle from a device for cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the angle of the output of the jet nozzle or the jet with respect to the surface to be cleaned and the width and intensity of the jet, where in particular a threshold value of the intensity of the jet on the surface is fixed or can be fixed, and where only in the case of reaching or exceeding the value threshold at a detected variation in the position of the jet nozzle the surface to be cleaned is shown or can be shown in at least a first color and / or another color.

A color within the meaning of the present invention is to be understood as a projection or mark which, in addition to a color mark in the classical sense, must additionally or exclusively comprise all conceivable marks such as drawings, letters, numbers and the like. That is, also an overlay of a surface with hatching, hatching, diagonal course lines, etc., is to be understood herein as a first, second, or additional color representation.

By a jet intensity can be understood, for example, the volume of a cleaning agent, for example water, cleaning solution, dry ice, etc., per unit of time with respect to the opening cross section of the jet nozzle .

The cleaning device according to the invention can be for example a cleaning cloth, a vacuum cleaner, a high-pressure cleaner, a polisher, a guided cleaning machine and the like. The at least one cleaning area used or that can be used for cleaning can be in the case of a vacuum cleaner, for example the suction cup, in the case of a cleaning cloth, the sponge, the brush, the glove equipped with sensors , which holds them, in the case of the high-pressure cleaner, the outlet nozzle actively connected with the adjusted intensity and width of the jet, in the case of the machine for cleaning the floor guided by the cleaning and suction unit, etc.

In this regard, the cleaning device according to the invention detects at all times the apparatus and / or the working step that is currently carried out.

The surfaces to be cleaned may for example be entire floor surfaces, paths, floor edge areas, table tops, table legs, cupboard fronts, top cupboard edges, toilets, sinks and the like or parts thereof, the present relationship being evident by way of example and not conclusive. In accordance with the invention, provision can be made in this regard for the display equipment to show, for example, a carpet initially in at least one first color, for example red. The device according to the invention is in this connection connected to the suction cup of a vacuum cleaner in order to document a cleaning of the carpet and to show it to the user. If the suction cup is now moved on the carpet, this movement is detected by the data processing equipment and the cleaned area is represented to the user in at least one second color, for example green.

As an alternative it can be provided according to the invention that the floor, for example, is initially displayed in the at least one first color, and the color due to movement of the cleaning zone is no longer displayed. This can be done, for example, in such a way that a floor is shown in red and with the movement of a vacuum cleaner, the red color and / or the pattern disappears little by little.

As an alternative, it can also be provided that a floor is initially represented without color, and with the movement of the cleaning area it is represented as gradually cleaned in the at least one second color.

Fundamentally, as it has already been explained in the state of the art, it is known that maps of areas to be cleaned by a cleaning robot are created by themselves and / or that certain cleaning processes are associated with certain areas that have been mapped. cleaning, for example scrubbing a tile floor or vacuuming a carpet. In this regard, it is also possible to find out the route that a cleaning robot must take in order to generate from this an indication of the area that has supposedly already been cleaned. This is possible since, in general, in case of such cleaning robots it is detected whether their cleaning device is activated. However, in manually operated cleaning devices such automatic detection of whether a cleaning is performed in the case of a connected cleaning device is not possible. In the case of a cleaning robot, sufficient contact with the floor is always guaranteed since it cannot move from the floor at a discretionary distance, but the cleaning device itself of the cleaning robot can only move at a distance from the floor defined by the wheels of this above this. Consequently, in the case of cleaning robots, it is fundamentally assumed that a traveled area of a cleaning robot has also been cleaned and an additional sensor system is not necessary.

On the other hand, by means of a detection means according to the invention it is possible to record whether the at least one area of the cleaning device used or that can be used for cleaning is actually actively connected to the surface to be cleaned. For example, in the case where a detection means according to the invention is arranged in the suction cup of a vacuum cleaner, the position and pressure Position and the pressure of contact with the ground can be detected in order to guarantee a correct cleaning and use the position to change the color of the display.

It can also be provided that the at least one detection means according to the invention is arranged in a glove to detect a cleaning of a surface, for example in a cleaning of a table, a window or the like, with a cleaning cloth , cleaning sponge, brush or the like.

Therefore, by means of the detection means according to the invention, it is possible to determine by setting a threshold value of the contact pressure whether or not cleaning takes place and to convert this information in particular into graphic signals.

In this regard, in particular, the detection means according to the invention is not going to be a distance measuring instrument, which detects exclusively directly or indirectly the distance of the area of the device intended for cleaning with respect to the surface that has to be cleaned.

In this regard, according to one embodiment, it can also be provided that the surface to be cleaned is shown in at least one first color, and depending on a detected variation in the position of at least the cleaning area of the cleaning device, the surface to be cleaned is displayed in at least one second color, being displayed in at least one other color, depending on a detected variation in the position of at least the cleaning area of the cleaning device, the surface to be cleaned and / or the surface to be cleaned being shown in at least one other color depending on a date and / or an hour and / or a period according to a preceding variation of the display color in another color.

This may be advantageous for dirt that cannot be removed by just one pass but more than one pass through the same site is necessary in order to remove the dirt completely and / or in a satisfactory manner and / or to document multiple passes cleaning.

Also by means of channeled setting of threshold values of the at least one detection means it may be possible to determine if a new cleaning is necessary by means of a contact pressure, although present, too low of the at least one area of the cleaning device used or that can be used for cleaning.

For example, provision may be made for a given area to be aspirated at least twice. In this case it can be represented initially, for example, in red, the area cleaned once in one color with a percentage of red of 70% and a percentage of green of 30% and the area cleaned twice, as desired completely green.

This may otherwise be advantageous for surfaces that require at least two different cleaning passes to achieve the desired cleaning result (for example, 1. Wet cleaning with blue rag, 2. Dry cleaning without marks with green rag) or in the vacuuming of a floor, having to clean in a more intensive way the most frequented areas, for example routes, due to more intense dirt or due to more intense dirt to be expected.

In this regard, it can also be provided that an area to be cleaned after a predetermined time after cleaning can be represented in another color to document that the cleaning has been carried out according to plan, however due to subsequent use it may become dirty. new. For example, a floor surface may be clean before the start of business hours, however it may be dirty again two hours after the opening of the store. By marking such a surface on another Color, for example yellow, this state can be documented and represented (clean according to plan, although dirt due to use and / or dust formation is to be expected).

According to an embodiment of the present invention in this regard, provision can be made for the device to be connected or to be connected by means of a connecting element to the cleaning device, in particular by means of a velcro, a zipper, an adhesive connection, a push button, a threaded connection, a clamp connection and / or an adhesion. By means of such a connecting element the number of devices in cleaning can be clearly reduced, since for each cleaning device a device according to the independent invention is not necessary, but these can be connected if necessary with a device desired cleaning.

As an alternative, the device according to the invention can be integrated or can naturally be integrated directly into a cleaning device.

Advantageously in the use of the device according to the invention in different cleaning devices, it can be distinguished and represented at each moment in which cleaning device is fixed at that moment and / or what cleaning process with which work goal is currently executed. . This can be done in particular through an input in the device according to the invention in which a particular cleaning device is selected or can be selected. However, it may also be provided or as an alternative that, for example, different detection means can be used for different cleaning devices. In this regard, either an identical detection means with a specific identification corresponding to a type of a cleaning device and / or different types and / or configurations of detection means for different cleaning devices can be used.

Also according to an embodiment of the present invention, provision can be made for the cleaning device and / or the cleaning process to be detected or can be detected automatically by a recognition means, in particular by a camera, which is connected or can be connected actively with the data processing team.

This may in particular have the advantage that manual input errors are avoided. By means of image processing algorithms known according to the state of the art, it is possible to assign and distinguish different objects from each other in an unequivocal way.

In this regard it may be advantageous according to the invention that the detected cleaning device is optionally redisplayed to the user for confirmation, and the user confirms correct recognition of the registered cleaning device. As long as a wrong cleaning device is detected, a list of possible alternative cleaning devices can be displayed.

It may also be provided that operating states of the cleaning device are detected by the device according to the invention. This may include, for example, detecting whether a cleaning device is in operation during the movement of the cleaning zone and in which operating mode it is operated. Advantageously, a modification according to the invention of the display color is made exclusively when a cleaning device is in an operating state that allows cleaning.

For example, if a vacuum cleaner is to be turned on, a corresponding contact pressure and movement are signaled, a vacuum cleaner is switched off or a vacuum cleaner is switched on without a corresponding contact pressure and / or without a movement, no change in color of the display is caused.

For example, no color variation is also signaled when the vacuum is on and the floor nozzle moves, but the corresponding contact pressure of the floor nozzle toward the cleaning surface is not present.

In this regard, it may also be provided that the at least one detection means is a laser rangefinder, odometer sensors, contact sensors and / or acceleration sensors and / or is designed and configured to carry out triangulation by camera and laser and / or with radar or infrared. Furthermore, provision can be made for a height sensor to detect the height of a surface to be cleaned. Some surfaces to be cleaned are located at heights for which extra effort (ladder, climbers, lifting platform) is required to reach and clean which can massively increase the effort as well as the costs associated with it despite easy cleaning.

With such sensors it can be allowed, on the one hand, to detect the position of the device according to the invention and / or of the cleaning area, and optionally on the other hand at the same time to monitor a correct use of the area to be cleaned.

In this regard it may be advantageous according to the invention that the device comprises a camera, and the data processing equipment calculates the representation of the at least one surface to be cleaned based on the data from the camera and / or represents based on in the camera data the at least one surface to be cleaned with the at least one first color and / or the at least one second color superimposed on the at least one display equipment.

Otherwise the camera detects for example the different colors of the cleaning cloths and / or appliances (color coding) and can correspondingly record whether the correct cloths are used according to color in the correct order and on the correct surface (for example red = sanitary (dry), blue = inventory (wet), green = inventory (dry), yellow = glass surfaces (wet)).

By means of a camera of this type in particular also without space planes or deviations from existing planes, it is possible to superimpose colors of surfaces to be cleaned according to the invention. For example, a table can be adjusted in a space, objects can be placed on a desk, etc.

It is also possible to dispense with space planes by automatically detecting, for example, a floor area, a furniture surface and / or window surfaces and the like by means of software algorithms known in the state of the art, and by performing a color superposition.

According to an embodiment of the invention, provision can be made for the at least one display device to be provided in the form of a mobile terminal, in particular a laptop, a netbook, a smartphone, a tablet, and / or Smart glasses, preferably smart glasses with an integrated camera.

Provision can also be made for the display equipment to display the surface to be cleaned in at least a first color and / or at least a second color together with a current view of a user of the device in the form of an augmented reality ( augmented reality).

This has the advantage in particular that a current view of a space, an exterior area, a piece of furniture, or the like can be directly superimposed.

An advantage is especially clear in the use of smart glasses with an integrated camera. If the cleaning staff puts on the smart glasses, their current vision is directly superimposed by means of color overlays of the surfaces that are necessary or to be cleaned, and therefore as much cleaning work as possible, particularly in the planned order. like performing cleaning.

For example in a space at first it can be shown, in particular by a red coloring of the floor that it must be vacuumed. With the suction it can be dyed little by little, for example, green, so that a double cleaning is avoided as well as no area to be cleaned, since it appears in red regardless of the direction and / or the angle from which the surface is viewed through the mobile terminal or through the camera / monitor located there.

At another time additionally the furniture or a part of the furniture or the windows can be tinted red or to order also their cleaning indirectly.

Team-cleaning each team member can directly detect work that has already been done or remains to be done. Cleaning can also be easily controlled by a supervisor since colored surfaces are still directly displayed in the first color.

Therefore also in a team cleaning the working time of the cleaning staff is optimally used and a revision is simplified, either by a person or a software program activated or actively connected to the hardware used.

In this regard it can be provided according to the invention that a location profile is included in a data processing equipment storage equipment which can be selected by an input equipment of the data processing equipment, and / or based on a Determination of the position of the data processing equipment is automatically selected, preferably by GPS, WLAN location, GPRS triangulation and / or Bluetooth, comprising the location profile, in particular the surface to be cleaned in a building, a ship, a train , an airplane and / or an external space.

This means that the cleaning staff who carry out a cleaning job are either automatically shown the jobs in question or they can be displayed after entering their position.

Advantageously it may also be provided that the at least one display equipment is designed and configured to display, based on the position of the user, the location profile, and in particular the current orientation of the display equipment in space, direction arrows indicating in the direction of surfaces to be cleaned not indicated.

Some cleaning jobs to be carried out are located in various spaces or in places that are outside the field of vision, for example cleaning a higher top side (for example a shelf placed above the height of eyes) or inside a closed cabinet, or at a distance so wide that you must first approach them up to a certain distance so that it is recognized or detected by cleaning personnel or by the camera (for example small objects or areas thereof). Such cleaning jobs can be referenced by again showing direction arrows.

It may also be provided that the data processing equipment is designed and configured to additionally display information regarding a selected surface to be cleaned in reaction to a user input on the input equipment.

The input equipment may react in this respect according to the invention in some way to voice commands, for example "material" to display suitable cleaning material or "clip" to display a video of the cleaning being performed.

This has the advantage that cleaning instructions for certain objects or surfaces can also be displayed in several languages, directly. This may comprise, in addition to text, also an image, an animation, a video and / or an audio file that explains in more detail or exactly or with more accuracy the cleaning process to be carried out.

In accordance with the invention it can also be provided that the data processing equipment is designed and configured to identify a particular user, in particular by user input by means of the input device, and to display surfaces to be cleaned depending on the user. identified in the at least one first color, the at least one second color, at least one drawing or design and / or without color overlap. This can be used in particular in the case of equipment cleaning so that certain cleaning personnel can be assigned certain tasks. By recording individual persons, the working time can also be detected and by checking the quality of work of individual cleaning personnel.

According to the invention it may preferably be that the at least one display equipment, the at least one input equipment and / or the at least one detection means communicate wirelessly with the data processing equipment, in particular via Bluetooth , a radio and / or WLAN connection.

This allows, for example, wireless data transmission between parts attached to the cleaning device of the device according to the invention, of the display equipment, of the input equipment and / or of the data processing equipment and consequently facilitates their use .

It can also be provided that the dimensions of the cleaning area of the cleaning device can be deposited and / or are deposited and / or can be entered in the data processing equipment, the representation of the at least one surface being carried out in sections. to be cleaned depending on the detected variation of the position of at least the cleaning zone of the cleaning device in the at least one second color depending on the dimension of the cleaning zone.

This leads to cleaning with, for example, a hand-held vacuum cleaner, which causes smaller areas to stain than cleaning with a larger vacuum cleaner. In the case of a jet cleaning apparatus, for example, the cleaning zone is determined by the distance of the jet nozzle outlet from the surface to be cleaned, the angle of the jet nozzle outlet, or of the jet of the mentioned surface, that is to say of the direction of the jet, the width of the jet and the intensity of the jet.

According to the invention it can be provided that the user and / or an additional user can update the place profile by means of an entry and / or that the place profile is automatically updated by detecting dirt, in particular by detecting deviations color using the camera.

Such an entry can be made through an additional electronic device and / or interactively. For example a user may circle a hand, and therefore mark, a dirt, deterioration and / or surface, the particular location being detected automatically. This for example can be a new dirt, whose cleaning must be done, or a dirt that cannot be removed (with the means at your disposal) or a new surface that must be incorporated into the cleaning plan.

It can also be provided according to the invention that the device is or can be actively connected to a server, the location profile of the data processing equipment and the server being synchronized or being synchronized.

Otherwise it may be in accordance with the invention provided that the data processing equipment is designed and configured to store cleaning data comprising the position of at least the area of cleaning of the cleaning device, a moment or period, a first parameter representatively for a user and / or a second parameter representatively for a cleaning device, this data being able to be synchronized or synchronized in particular with a server and / or additional data processing equipment and / or data storage equipment.

It may also be provided according to the invention that cleaning data is displayed or can be displayed to a user on display equipment actively connected to the at least one server, in particular in the form of a display screen, preferably a display screen. display connected or which can be connected directly or indirectly through additional data processing equipment, for example in the form of a computer, tablet, mobile phone or the like.

Such detection of cleaning data is associated with a large number of advantages. By detecting and transmitting cleaning data to a server, real-time "recording" of cleaning jobs actually carried out is allowed. At the same time, the recording and representation of the executed works and associated costs can be performed. The cleaning data can therefore detect, on the one hand, the working time and labor expense of a cleaner, on the other hand, however, a calculation of the work carried out can be run at the same time or alternatively depending on the work actually carried out. Additional work is often carried out, for example due to unforeseen dirt which can so far be manually registered only with much effort. As in a software for calculating phone calls, SMS, MMS, data volume, etc., of a specific mobile user depending on the place, day, time, rate, etc. the device according to the invention likewise allows the recording of the work performance according to the aforementioned criteria and specific to each job in real time and its settlement. The calculations, vision of intermediate costs and invoicing are therefore possible precisely since the device according to the invention allows to record in a database on a server, the performance that is performed or the means have been performed, the time , place and rate of a specific person.

As an alternative it is also conceivable that instead of a server all data is recorded and stored in the data processing equipment of the device according to the invention, and without interleaving a server they are directly evaluated by it, or alternatively, by another data processing system, which can be connected or is actively connected to the device according to the invention.

Due to recording, a performance ratio can also be represented at any time graphically or in writing, as a detailed cost breakdown of the phone bill. Furthermore, the cleaning data can be used for the elaboration of statistics and exact calculations and therefore, in particular, the calculation can be carried out individually and automatically.

Finally, it may be advantageous if the device according to the invention is not an autonomous cleaning equipment, in particular no cleaning robot.

Also the invention provides a use of a device according to the invention with a vacuum cleaner, a glove, a floor polisher, a steam cleaner, a high pressure cleaner and / or a window cleaning device.

Naturally, the present invention is not limited to the explicitly cited cleaning devices, but these are naturally to be understood by way of example. Basically, according to the invention, a use of a device according to the invention is provided with a discretionary cleaning device.

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention result from the following description in which exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained by way of exemplary schematic drawings without thereby limiting the invention.

In this regard it shows:

Figure 1: a schematic side view of a device according to the invention actively connected to a vacuum cleaner; Y

Figure 2: a schematic perspective view of a space of a display equipment of a device according to the invention.

A schematic side view of a device according to the invention 1 is shown in FIG. 1. It comprises a detection means 3 and a data processing equipment 5. The detection means 3 is attached in this respect to the suction cup 7 of a vacuum cleaner 9 and detects the position of the suction cup as well as a contact or contact pressure. In this regard, data is transmitted from the data processing equipment 5 to the smart glasses 11, the data processing equipment 5 employing in this regard in the form of an augmented reality data from a camera 13 which is arranged in the smart glasses 11 in order to superimpose the current view of the user with additional information.

In this respect, the smart glasses 1 communicate wirelessly and continuously with the data processing equipment 5 and record through the detection means 3, if the part that performs the cleaning, in this case the suction cup 7, has sufficient contact with the ground surface, that is to say if the at least one detection means detects a sufficient contact pressure greater than or equal to the threshold value, and if the suction cup 7 and the speed move. In real time the user visualizes this movement in the smart glasses 11 through a transition from the at least a first color to at least a second color, and consequently, the movement of the suction cup 7 is saved. For the user, the representation on the smart glasses 11 is represented, for example, as if a ground originally superimposed with red were gradually painted green. In this regard, the width of the color mark corresponds to the width of the cleaning part of the suction cup and the length of the path to section traveled.

Said variations of the color overlap are maintained until a change of state or expiration, so that the user can detect exactly where a cleaning has already been carried out. Therefore, cleaning near the edges can be carried out with few overlapping movements. In the case of several cleaning processes according to the invention, the transition of colors can be carried out in this respect from the first to the second color by means of various intermediate colors, for example a transition from red (not cleaned) to green (cleaned) in this case. case by repeated cleaning. Only when the surface to be cleaned appears completely green does the user receive an indication that cleaning on the surface just cleaned has been completed.

Figure 2 shows a schematic perspective view of a space 20 of a display equipment of a device according to the invention. The device according to the invention itself is not shown in figure 2. A user 21 sees in the schematic representation of figure 2 a space with color overlays. A first window 23 for example has already been cleaned and is represented in a second color while another window 23 'must still be cleaned and is therefore still represented in the first color. A direction arrow 24 indicates towards an upper side 25 'of a cabinet 25 to be cleaned, which cannot be distinguished from the user's perspective. The floor area 29 has already been partially cleaned, particularly in the table area 27, which is shown by a second color staining 29 ". The additional floor area 29 '29 has not yet been cleaned and is therefore represents again in the first color.

Also the table 27 is already partially clean in the zone 31 while the zone 31 'has yet to be cleaned. As clarified by figure 2, by superimposing colors on surfaces to be cleaned in at least a first color and after cleaning in at least a second color, cleaning personnel can easily visualize which cleaning jobs have been to be carried out yet, and which have already been carried out.

The features of the invention disclosed in the foregoing description, the claims as well as the drawings may be essential both individually and in any combination for the implementation of the invention in its various embodiments.
